(Yawn) Just a drug dealer, no threat to the President (Update)

The headlines read:
Fighters Intercept Drug-Carrying Cessna Near Air Force One

Here are a few excerpts:
SAN FRANCISCO — As Air Force One sat on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport this morning, the North American Aerospace Defense Command scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to intercept a small private plane that had invaded the airspace.

And
Agents interviewed the pilots before they were turned over to the Long Beach Police Department and arrested, an official said.

And
One law enforcement source told ABC News the plane was carrying 40 pounds of marijuana. Officials with the Long Beach Police Department did not immediately respond to ABC News’ request to confirm the type or quantity of the drugs.

Here are questions:
Too whom was the Cessna air plane registered? Where are pictures of the Black pilot in handcuffs being arrested? How much is his bond and when is his trial date? Has he hired a lawyer? Where is his home in the ghetto and how many illegitimate children does he have? Can’t wait to see his English challenged girl friend and mother talk about what a good man he is. I wanna know, damn it!

As always,

And
Major holds a student pilot certificate issued in 2008, according to the FAA. He could not be reached for comment Thursday.
